About Me


I joined up Dtoid a while back, left for a while, and now I'm partially back. Kinda.

I love fighting games, shmups, chocolate milk, things that are bad for you, and drinking games.

...that would just be annoying, and the C-Blogs aren't the place for this, so I'll just tell you some awesome news instead.

I literally found a copy of EarthBound in my school today. Seriously. No shit involved, except for when I shat my pants.

Now, the reason why there was an 11 year old amazing RPG lying around my school also gives testament to just how amazing my school actually is. The teachers in my science department keep both an SNES and an N64 in their little lunch room. Stocked with the essentials, including Mario Kart, Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat (well, ther has to be at least one shitty game, right?), Mario World, Mario Paint w/ Mouse, and so many more. I guess Earthbound just got "misplaced". Lucky me!

But in all seriousness, I found it in a stairwell, so that's open territory. Someone could've picked it up not even knowing what it was, so I guess it's better that way.



Now I just need an SNES. Fuck.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with Mortal Kombat. That shit was classic back when it came out!

My old high school also has little cubby spaces under the stairwells. People went there to smoke pot. What were you doing in yours that you just happened to find Earthbound?

That was mine. Just ship it back to me and we won't have any problems.

@ Brandon, I've been struggling with the idea, and I'm going to talk to some of the teachers who I'm pretty close with to see if it was actually missed/noticed. Obviously, I won't just jump out and mention it, that'd be stupid. If it turns out that someone is pretty upset, I'll slip it back in.

To be fair though, I checked it out at a friends house, and there wasn't even a save file. So....

just nitpicking, but there was no need for the word "literally."

Actually braulio09, the use of the word "literally" is contextually correct. If he had "Figuratively" found the item at school, it could have been given to him, or something like that. Where-as "Literally" means he actually located it.

Just nitpicking. ;)

Nitpicking ftw!

I found $20 at my old school once. Not because it's awesome though. It was probably money dropped from a dope deal :|

I found a blow job at school once. it gave me aids. i'm still looking for the person so that I may return it. I KNOW they are missing it.

but LITERALLY, you need to look into finding the person who lost it. Trust me. You can always just play that game on your computer, but to the person it belongs to that game is their baby.

Alright, I give in. Although I wasn't able to get any pics as proof, since my camera's being a bitch, I'll just be straight up with one of the teachers who I know uses the back room and talk about making a deal with the guy who does own it.

Karma, man. Shit'll come back to bite me.
